Default What's up with the washer fluid cap?

This is a Katrina sized tongue too. It must be over two feet long.

Anybody know what its for?

Mybad... At the end of that really long tongue are a series of holes. If the holes are covered with fluid, you know it's at least that high in the reservoir. If the thing is dry, it's time to add.

That is one of the silly things they designed in the S... I have no idea why they just couldn't put the reservoir in plain view. I'm guessing they had a reason, though.

Best explanation yet. Keep the fluids down low -- better performance on the butt dyno.
